Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a subframe assembly for a vehicle.
  • Subframe assemblies are used in vehicles with driven rear axle.
  • the subframe also referred to as axle bracket, forms a framework of two longitudinal members in parallel spaced-apart relationship which are connected by two cross members that are also arranged in parallel spaced-apart relationship.
  • the free space or clearance between the longitudinal and cross members is used for receiving a transfer case, also referred to as intermediate transmission or differential.
  • An input shaft extends from the drive source into the transfer case and has a torque which is distributed to two output shafts that exit the transfer case to the side.
  • the subframe has attachment points for wheel-guiding control arms which are connected to both the subframe and a wheel carrier that receives the wheel.
  • the subframe assembly can be connected in its entirety to the vehicle body, with the subframe being mounted elastically to the vehicle body via several, suitably four, bearings.
  • subframe assembly is used in the description as relating to a componentry that includes a subframe and a transfer case.
  • wheel-guiding components such as control arm, wheel carrier or brake system may also be incorporated in this componentry, they are secondary within the scope of the present invention so that further description thereof is substantially omitted for the sake of simplicity.
  • a subframe assembly for a vehicle includes a multipart subframe having two longitudinal members in spaced-apart relationship, and two cross members disposed in spaced-apart relationship and connecting the longitudinal members, a transfer case supported on the subframe between the longitudinal and cross members, the transfer case having an input shaft in driving relation to two output shafts, and a bearing element which extends in axis-parallel relation to the input shaft and which is shifted in a direction of one of the longitudinal members and projects from the transfer case, wherein a first one of the cross members is crossed by a portion of the transfer case at a crossing section and has two shell parts connected to one another at least at one area, each shell part having a bracket, with the bracket of one of the shell parts and the bracket of the other one of the shell parts jointly forming a bearing mount for the bearing element.
  • the one of the cross members which is intersected by a portion of the transfer case, is made from two shell parts that are connected in at least one area and have each a bracket for receiving the bearing element of the transfer case, which bearing element extends in axis-parallel relation to the input shaft and is shifted in a direction of one of the longitudinal members, i.e. to about the side, to project from the transfer case, the force generated by a relative movement of the transfer case can be introduced into the one cross member in a particular effective manner via the bearing element.
  • a joint advantageously extends in vertical vehicle direction on the topside of the cross member along and in transverse vehicle direction between the brackets there through. Both shell parts overlap at the joint seam in at least one area.
  • the respective bearing mount on the cross member can be realized in this region without significant weakening of the structure.
  • the cross section of the one cross member can be kept substantially constant in this region, thereby again positively affecting the force introduction.
  • the longitudinal members have mounts for subframe bearings via which the subframe can be elastically connected with the vehicle body. Any force from the transfer case can be introduced into the vehicle body via these subframe bearings.
  • the subframe, especially the longitudinal members have further bearing points for securement of wheel guiding elements such as, e.g., transverse control arms and longitudinal control arms.
  • the first one of the cross members can have a curved portion which crosses below the portion of the transfer case.
  • the cross section of the cross member remains substantially the same in the area of the curved portion and does also not deviate in any significant way from the cross section of the remainder of the cross member. This maintains strength of the cross member at a high level.
  • the input shaft can extend substantially at level with the longitudinal members.
  • the input shaft can extend substantially in a common plane with the longitudinal members.
  • the subframe assembly is very compact especially in vertical vehicle direction.
  • the two shell parts can form together a downwardly open profile, as viewed in a vertical vehicle direction.
  • the provision of a downwardly open profile is especially useful to receive a torsion bar stabilizer or steering gear so that overall much installation space can be saved.
  • the transfer case can have bearing elements, with a second one of the cross members having two bearing mounts for receiving the bearing elements.
  • the bearing mounts are aligned horizontally, when the subframe is installed and spaced from one another for improved torque support.
  • the two bearing mounts can be sized to extend widthways through the second one of the cross members. Rubber-metal bush bearings can be placed in thus-formed through openings. Both bearing mounts of the second cross member and also the bearing mount of the first cross member form together a triangle in plan view.
  • the first one of the cross members can be arranged at a leading end of the subframe, as viewed in a longitudinal vehicle direction.
  • This for example, may be the case for a vehicle with front engine and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
  • the subframe would have to be constructed mirror-inverted and the first cross member would have to be arranged on the trailing end of the subframe, as viewed in longitudinal vehicle direction.
  • the shell parts may be formed as malleable sheet metal parts.
  • the brackets may be formed by suitably forming the shell parts.
  • the subframe can be configured as a welding assembly. This is beneficial because the subframe can then be realized with optimal weight through selection and dimensioning of material according to need.
  • a vehicle comprises a subframe assembly which includes a multipart subframe having two longitudinal members in spaced-apart relationship, and two cross members disposed in spaced-apart relationship and connecting the longitudinal members, a transfer case supported on the subframe between the longitudinal and cross members, the transfer case having an input shaft and a bearing element which extends in axis-parallel relation to the input shaft and which is shifted in a direction of one of the longitudinal members and projects from the transfer case, wherein a first one of the cross members is crossed by a portion of the transfer case at a crossing section and has two shell parts connected to one another at least at one area, each shell part having a bracket, with the bracket of one of the shell parts and the bracket of the other one of the shell parts jointly forming a bearing mount for the bearing element.
  • a vehicle in accordance with the present invention can include the subframe assembly on the rear end as part of the rear axle.
  • the subframe is connected elastically at several locations with the vehicle body structure and has wheel-guiding control arms which in turn are connected with each one of the wheel carriers.
  • the drive source is arranged in the front structure of the vehicle and conducts its torque via the input shaft of the transfer case at least in part into the transfer case which transfers the torque, according to need, via the output shafts to the wheels, associated to the wheel carriers, so as to generate a rotation of the wheels.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a subframe assembly according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of a subframe of the subframe assembly
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the subframe, taken along the line III-III in FIG. 2 .
  • the subframe assembly 1 includes a subframe 2 which has two longitudinal members 3 arranged as mirror images in spaced-apart relationship and connected by two spaced-apart cross members 4 , 5 to form the subframe 2 .
  • a first cross member 4 is arranged in travel direction F at a leading end of the subframe 2 and a second cross member 5 is arranged in travel direction F at a trailing end of the subframe 2 .
  • a clearance is formed between the cross members 4 , 5 and the longitudinal members 3 for accommodating a transfer case 7 having an input shaft 7 a pointing in travel direction F and two output shafts 7 b extending in a transverse vehicle direction y in opposite directions.
  • the input shaft 7 a extends at about level with the adjacent longitudinal members 3 , as viewed in vertical vehicle direction z, and traverses the first cross member 4 at a crossing section K.
  • the first cross member 4 has a curved portion which crosses underneath the input shaft 7 a.
  • the first cross member 4 is comprised of two shell parts 4 a , 4 b , with the shell parts 4 a , 4 b jointly forming a downwardly open U-shaped profile, as viewed in vertical vehicle direction z. Both shell parts 4 a , 4 b overlap in some areas on the topside of the cross member 4 that has been formed by the shell parts 4 a , 4 b and are connected, advantageously welded, to one another by a material joint along respective joint seams 9 .
  • Each of the two shell parts 4 a , 4 b is formed with a bracket 4 c which extends upwards in vertical vehicle direction z and thus projects from the first cross member 4 .
  • the two brackets 4 c together establish a bearing mount 6 which is oriented horizontally in longitudinal vehicle direction x for receiving a bearing element 8 of a transfer case 7 .
  • the bearing element 8 is hereby shifted in axis-parallel relation away from the input shaft 7 a in a direction of one of the longitudinal members 3 so that the position of the bearing mount 6 on the first cross member 4 is almost inevitably established.
  • the second cross member 5 has two further bearing mounts 6 which traverse widthways the second cross member 5 and are oriented in longitudinal vehicle direction x.
  • the bearing mounts 6 of the second cross member 5 are configured to receive respective bearing elements 8 of the transfer case 7 . All bearing mounts 6 jointly form a triangle, as viewed by a plan view.
  • Each of the bearing elements 8 includes a conventional rubber-metal bush bearing.
  • FIG. 2 shows the subframe 2 , comprised of the two mirror-symmetrical, spaced-apart longitudinal members 3 , the leading first cross member 4 and the trailing second cross member 5 , as viewed in travel direction F.
  • the first cross member 4 is composed of two shell parts 4 a , 4 b , with each of the shell parts 4 a , 4 b forming a bracket 4 c to jointly form the bearing mount 6 .
  • FIG. 2 clearly shows the curved portion of the first cross member 4 in the crossing section K, with the bearing mount 6 being arranged at a marginal area adjacent to the crossing section K.
  • the second cross member 5 has the two further bearing mounts 6 , respectively formed by throughbores which extend in longitudinal vehicle direction x widthways through the second cross member 5 .
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the subframe 2 , taken along the line 111 - 111 in FIG. 2 , and shows in particular the configuration of the first cross member 4 .
  • the two shell parts 4 a , 4 b slightly overlap on the topside of the first cross member 4 so that a linear joint seam 9 can be formed through welding.
  • the joint seam 9 extends in line between the brackets 4 c ; as viewed in transverse vehicle direction y.
  • the first cross member 4 has a downwardly open U-shaped profile which may be closed at short sections to selectively provide further stiffening.
